The English-speaking members of the Anglican community on Gozo have over the past months responded to the food collection appeal which was made by the Order of Malta Volunteers in Gozo (OMVG).

The Anglican community led by Rev. Neil Robb and their welfare officer Ms Carole McLaren passed the Gozo volunteers appeal to their congregation. The response was overwhelming and food supplies were provided which enabled the Order to distribute more aid to Gozitan families and refugees in need.

The English-speaking Anglican community in Gozo, which holds its service at the Catholic Seminary chapel in Victoria, also donated items including blankets and good-quality clothes to the Order’s corps every Wednesday after their Service.

The food donated complimented a further twenty hampers which the Maltese Association also sent to Gozo with the kind assistance of colleague Mr Joe D’ Amato. The Order in Gozo also received a large amount of stationary and toys from the Catenian Gozo Circle led by their President Dr Raymond C Xerri.

Currently, the Order of Malta Volunteers in Gozo is helping a lot of families and refugees. A particular family which needs a lot of help is a Gozitan widow whose son is currently receiving treatment in Germany. The Gozo Volunteers are providing a ramp near their apartment for the boy’s wheelchair.
